African culture took centre stage at an ‘Evening with Coca-Cola’, a grand event that reawakened the consciousness of hundreds of Nigerian youths and rocked their world in a sensational way. The event was the official launch of ‘A Billion Reasons to Believe in Africa’ Coca-Cola’s latest continental campaign, which took place on Thursday evening, September 6 at Habour Point, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The event was anchored by witty comedienne, Helen Paul and ‘Goge Africa’ host, Isaac Moses who projected a regal pose through the evening. The DJ provided a foretaste of the evening, which was followed with performances by young poets SageBlack, Elizabeth Ole and Nonnie. The crowd was thrilled to a frenzy when a dance drama depicted the evolution of Nigerian music from the seventies till date. 

 

Kukere Master, Iyanya, was the first to perform and he got the crowd on its feet with his hot single, ‘Kukere,’ before doing the very popular ‘Your Waist.’ Iyanya said, “I believe in the originality of Africans. God loves us so much as can be seen from our fantastic climate, free from natural disasters. Though we have our own shortcomings, we are blessed. Our hospitality is second to none. I want youths at this event today to aspire to be the best just like Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola is one of the biggest brands in the world and I’m telling youths to be like Coca-Cola, and prove that they can succeed.”
